The Xi lamps, in blown glass and leather, rock gently in space like lanterns. The lighting body pairs two blown‑glass elements. The upper glass, with a distinctive regular fluted surface, is transparent and coloured in amber, emerald, sapphire or moonstone tones. The lower white glass in pearl finish renders the light warm and diffuse. In the table version the lighting body is a large lantern positioned on a metal base with natural brass finish. The leather strap supports the lamp and serves as a handle to move the lamp. The Xi lamp collection includes various types. They are unique pieces obtained by glass‑blowing from the Master glass‑makers of Venice using coloured molten glass. Any colour variations and small air bubbles are due to the artistic glass processing and should therefore be considered fine‑craft details that make each piece a unique, unrepeatable item.

Concept and Design

In Chinese Xi means “morning light” but also “in praise of wisdom”. And when the XI lamps designed by Neri & Hu for Poltrona Frau are switched on their soft, full light is evocative of sunlight at dawn. The project seeks to convey a culture of light founded on the understanding that the start of every new day is like the beginning of life, infused with positivity and a sense of rebirth.
